Chapter 52: Learning to be a Chiseler

“First, you’ll need to transform the Asura Jade Pendant into the Chisel of Shen Wen . This is the transformation method . Here are two level one Yuan Wen, master these first . ”

Xi Yue poked at Mu Feng’s forehead and sent a wave of information into Mu Feng’s brain .

After processing the information, Mu Feng channeled his Vitality into the Asura Jade Pendant . A golden light shone out and circled around the pendant, transforming the Asura Jade pendant into a one-foot-long, sanguine chisel that had a sharp, pointed tip . A ring of golden-colored runes circled around the chisel .

After that, Mu Feng took out a piece of Beast leather tally paper and dipped the chisel into the Jing Ink . To his surprise, the chisel started absorbing the Jing Ink .

He then concentrated all of his energy onto the chisel, and a sanguine liquid started leaking out of the chisel .

Not bad . He could make his own ink on his first attempt . It seems like he has talent in carving runes .

Xi Yue nodded her head and thought to herself while looking at Mu Feng .

Mu Feng picked up the chisel and started to carve on the piece of Beast leather tally paper . Due to the fact that it was his first time carving, he couldn’t carve the Yuan Wen according to the method that Xi Yue taught him just now . His Yuan Wen appeared sloppy, and he even tore the tally paper .

After a while, the first set of Yuan Wen were carved onto the tally paper, but it was obviously unusable .

He then carved another three sets of Yuan Wen, one after another, but none of them were a success .

“Haih, you’re so stupid . How about this, I’ll enter your body and take control . Pay close attention to how I do it . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Xi Yue said with a sigh .

Actually, it wasn’t because Mu Feng was stupid . Generally, in order to carve a set of Yuan Wen, one needed an immense amount of practice . So, it wasn’t his fault that he didn’t succeed at his first attempt .  

Xi Yue then transformed into a beam of golden light and entered Mu Feng’s soul . She was temporarily inhabiting Mu Feng’s body, and because of this she could control his hands to properly carve on the tally paper .  

Unlike Mu Feng’s clumsy attempts, she began to carve smoothly and swiftly .

Soon, an entire Yuan Wen was completely carved .

Mu Feng picked the tally paper up, channeled his Vitality into it, and threw it swiftly at a corner .

Boom…!

A loud boom resounded, and a blue-colored wave burst out from the tally paper with an astonishing force . This force was even stronger than a punch from a Zi Fu level cultivator!

“Wow! That’s awesome!”

Mu Feng was stunned .

“Hehe, this is only the strength of a level one Water Explosive Yuan Wen . Do you have a vague idea of just how powerful a chiseler is now? If there comes a day where you can carve Shen Wen, you would have enough power to destroy a whole planet!”

Xi Yue flew out from Mu Feng’s body and said proudly .

“Remember how I carved the Yuan Wen just now, and keep practicing . ”

Mu Feng nodded, took out another piece of tally paper, and started carving again . Although he still failed, he had improved significantly .  

He practiced on his own for a while, and then Xi Yue entered his body and guided him again . After repeating this several times, the action of carving this Yuan Wen began to feel like muscle memory .

After a while, there were only seven tally papers left out of the initial five dozen . These five dozen tally papers had cost him hundreds of gold coins, and aside from the ones that were carved by Xi Yue, all of his attempts had failed .

Mu Feng continued to practice by himself, and finally, after many attempts, he was able to carve the Yuan Wen smoothly and swiftly under Xi Yue’s constant guidance . Strokes of Jing Ink started appearing on the tally paper .

He made the last stroke, and the sanguine Jing Ink actually emitted a blue-colored light, which was then absorbed into the tally paper .

Mu Feng was delighted: “Haha, I did it! Xi Yue, I finally succeeded!”

Mu Feng picked up the piece of tally paper and jumped about excitedly .

“Not bad . By knowing at least one type of Yuan Wen, you could say that you’ve finally started your journey as a chiseler . Go and get some weapons, I will now teach you how to carve runes on weapons . To be a qualified level one chiseler, you must learn how to do that . ”

Xi Yue nodded and said .

If somebody else knew about Mu Feng’s progress rate, they would probably be shocked to death . It was impossible for someone to learn how to carve a type of Yuan Wen in just one day . Other people might have to spend months, and a hefty sum of money too .

Anyways, this was because Mu Feng’s teacher, Xi Yue, was really extraordinary, as she could actually enter his body and guide him . In addition, he had outstanding comprehension, which was another important factor that contributed to his success .

Mu Feng nodded and finished carving the rest of the tally papers . Right when the last set of Yuan Wen was carved out, Mu Feng blacked out and fainted in the penetralia .

Rune carving consumed a lot of energy . It was only possible for Mu Feng to carve five dozen pieces of Yuan Wen in one sitting because he had powerful Soul Energy .

A warm smile spread across Xi Yue’s face as she looked at Mu Feng who was sleeping soundly in the penetralia . This trace of warmth seemed to have a hint of familial affection… or maybe not .

“Aunt Xin, please rest a.s.sured . Feng will definitely become a good man in the future…”

The next day, Mu Feng woke up and did some stretching exercises . After a good night’s sleep, he was as energetic as before . He then walked out of the penetralia, went to a weapon shop in An Nan city, and bought more than 10 types of high quality weapons .

These weapons used up most of his remaining gold coins .

After buying the weapons, he went back into his penetralia, and Xi Yue began to teach him how to carve runes on weapons .

He then made deep marks on the weapons, as the chisel was very sharp, and the Jing Ink started flowing into the marks .

After he finished carving, the snow-white sword he was carving on actually snapped in half!

As expected, he failed on his first attempt .

Xi Yue entered Mu Feng’s body once again and showed him how to carve runes on weapons . The main function of these level one Weapon Runes was to enhance the Vitality that was being channeled into the weapons . With the enhancement of Vitality, the attack power of a weapon was greatly increased .

As time ticked away, one weapon after another ended up a failure . However, Mu Feng persevered and kept on carving until he was too tired to continue . He then meditated and rested for a short while . Once he regained some energy, he continued to carve the rest of the weapons .

In one of the weapon shops in An Nan city .

 “Hey, what the h.e.l.l is wrong with the Mu family?! Why are the weapons that I ordered long ago not here yet?! Are you lying to me? I’ve already paid the deposit! Give me back my money!”

There was a commotion outside one of the Mu family’s weapons shop .

“I’m so sorry, everyone . I promise that your weapons will arrive soon, can you please wait for a few more days? Just a few more days…”

A middle-aged man dressed in grey said apologetically .

“Bulls.h.i.t! I’ve already waited for more than half a month! Could it be that the Mu family actually plans to steal our money?! I demand a refund! Give me back my money!”

A muscular middle-aged man grabbed the middle-aged shopkeeper by the collar and shouted furiously .

“We demand a refund!”

The others shouted as well .

Outside the weapons shop, in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse, a one-armed young man was hugging a beautiful girl while looking at the ruckus below . A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes and he smiled .

“The Mu family… Don’t think that our Huang family doesn’t dare to deal with you . So what if you have the support from a powerful main family? I will make sure that you guys can no longer do business in An Nan city . This is what you get by offending the Huang family . You reap what you sow . ”

The young man said coldly and his eyes gleamed with hatred and evilness .

At the same time, there was another commotion in front of a  Mu family herbal medicine shop .  

   

“Hmph, I will give you a grace period of three more days . If I still don’t get my weapons by then, I will smash your shop into pieces!”

After a series of curses and rants, the group of people eventually left the shop . The middle-aged man tugged at his clothes and sighed deeply .

“If those weapons are still not here by then, it seems that our family’s reputation in An Nan city will be damaged forever . ”
